《I Am A Demon Lord, Get Me Out Of Here》Chapter 10: The Speech
Advertisement
We went to the platform for princess Parola's speech.
A large crowd had gathered. It was about 1500 people that attended the announcement!
On top of the plateau stood an old man dressed in fancy clothes. He took out a large piece of paper and proceeded to read it out.
[Old man: "We are today gathered here to listen to the farewell speech of her majesty, princess Parola to her father, King Alfonce Aldrake. His highness, lord Hiro will also be speaking a few words of farewell."]
Again this Hiro character... I still have no clue who he is...
The old man left the platform, and knights clad in white armor entered. Their helmets adorned dragon heads, the emblem of Thelfheims royal family.
Behind the Knights, a Man appeared. He was roughly about 23 years old, tall, and athletic-looking. His clothes were those of an upper noble. His hair dark-brown like the earth itself. But the tips of the left side of his hair were bleached in a ghostly white. Not only was his hair different on the left side of his face, but a fierce scar dug itself through his skin and over his aqua eye. He was a fine-looking man, but there was something eerie about him. For some reason were his eyes closer to the ones the elves have, but his physique and other features were definitively human.
The crowd began to cheer the moment the youth entered the scene.
[Crowd: "LORD HIRO!!!"]
So this is this Hiro person.
Another person made her entrance right after.
Clad in an elegant snow-white dress was probably the most beautiful person this kingdom had to offer. Light blonde hair shining in the sun. Eyes blue like the Kraken-Sea and lips like peaches was Parola, the princess of this nation.

Auru's eyes sparkled as the princess entered, but mine widened as the man called Hiro opened his mouth, and his eyes met mine. Not only were his canines horrifyingly sharp, but the words he was about to speak were soul-crushing.
[Hiro: "I would like to thank you all for coming here, especially you,
I-G-N-A-T-I-U-S ]
A cold shiver ran over my back.
[(whispers) "We need to run. NOW!"]
I grabbed Auru and Grinla by the hands and began to drag them away behind me, but I still felt a piercing glare locked to my neck.
[Hiro: "No need to run. It's not like you'd get away either. You see, with my *Authority*, I can see your next move. And It seems like you are a lot weaker than you were before. In your current state, you have no chance of escaping."]
*Authority*. To put it simply, it is the peak state your mana can achieve. Since mana is also needed to boost your physical ability, some *Authorities* are similar to ultimate punch, cut, or extreme magics, but some are passive.
For example, my *Authority* was the [Authority of Time], which allows me to temporarily stop time for things around me, speed myself up, make me think faster, or slow down enemies. I can also mess with the age of things, but doing so exhausts my mana instantly.
Sadly I am currently unable to use my *Authority*... I believe it was also sealed within one of the mirror's pieces.
Another splendid example of an *Authority* is the Ice Magic of the Northern Lord, The Dragon Glacius.
(refers to the ice-dragon mentioned in chapter 7)
Alright then, back to the present.
I didn't listen to the words of that man Hiro and ran for my life with the girls in tow.

Suddenly Auru pulls her hand back and looks at me with frightful eyes.
["Auru, we can't stop, they're gonna get us."]
[Auru: "What does he mean with Ignatius, and why do we need to run?"]
["I'll explain later, let's get out of here first! That man is not who he seems to be."]
FUCK! I forgot that she doesn't know...
I grabbed Auru's hand firmly and fulled her along.
We ran along the main road for what felt like an eternity, then when we finally reached the city gates, a large group of soldiers had blocked the way.
[Soldier A: "Don't let them get away!"]
We rushed towards the barrier of soldiers.
["GRINLA, EARTH WALL!!!"]
[Grinla: "Roger that!
Manibus Matrique Terrae deberi; exsurge in gloria tua"]
A gigantic wall of stone shot out of the earth, pushing the soldiers out of the way. Some soldiers were lifted into the air and died from the fall. Others were smashed between the walls of the city gate and the stonewall.
Nice! Only 10 left.
We quickly approached the remaining soldiers.
[Soldier A: "Be careful!"]
I dashed right in front of Soldier A, and with a spin, I beheaded him in one clean swipe.
[Soldier B: "CLOSE THE GATE!!! DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"]
The portcullis of the gate was released, and with a loud bang, our way of escape was blocked. Some of the soldiers regained their consciousness and surrounded us.
This is the worst.
A big, brolic knight towering over 2 meters entered the battlefield.
[Soldiers: "YEAHH!! IT'S LORD ZUKRA!! NOW WE CANNOT LOSE!!"]
The presence of that man filled the eyes of the soldiers with courage.
[Zukra: "Ahaha, It's been a while, Ignatius-"]
["Wait, who are you again?"]
[Zukra: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, because, with the power bestowed upon me by our lord and savior *Nox*, I will take your head."]
(Nox is one of the gods, which the *Church of the Nine* worships.)
Zurka lifted up his large polehammer and took on a fighting stance.
[Zurka: "This will be your end, demon!"]

Epic Tales Variation: Aegis Kan
[Winner of the 2021 Writhathon Challenge] Volume 1 Powerless - without ability, influence, or power. That's what Aegis Kan previously known as Terrence Brown, felt when his world was invaded and his soul has whisked away to Gaia. Born as the firstborn of a Powerful Duke, Aegis finds himself in an entirely new world with magic and different paths to power; however, Aegis Kan is tasked with a mission as a Harbinger by the being, [Beyond], who invaded his world, took his soul, and chucked him and others out into the universe. Their task? Spread the System to the myriad races. This is his story, his Epic Tales. Volume 2 Syn Aegis and his cousin Amaya find themselves sent to the world of Prima on one mission and one mission alone. Conquer the world and add it the dukedom and Empires ever-growing resources. However, something weird happened to the planet right before their arrival. An overlap of the same world but darker and a merging caused by the shifting of realities have caused a nightmare Aegis has long forgotten to reappear. They... tHey... THEY... THe NOX ARE COMING! This story can be considered a slow burn and the everything is explained as the action commences and the story moves along. It is mostly told from Aegis perspective however there are several times when a side character perspective of an event matters so I'll put it in. Btw the first volume is a bit spotty as I am a new writer and still trying to find my rhythm. I believe it picks up speed around chapter 13-16ish Release Schedule: 4 chapters a week Wed-Sat 7AM GMT -6 Chapter length between 2000-3500. I try to stay around 2500-3000 but somethings the chapter just doesnt have a good cut off. Not all tags will affect the first volume and more will be added as the world is expanded.

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.3
They say third times the charm. With every iteration we improve. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you.
